STAGE

North Carolina theater-goers and critics alike are bug-eyed over dancer Mikhail Baryshnikov’s portrayal of a cockroach in Franz Kafka’s stage play “Metamorphosis,” which is enjoying a sold-out pre-Broadway run at Duke University in Durham. The Greensboro News & Record said Baryshnikov “seems perfect for the role” of a young man who wakes up one day and finds he has metamorphosed into an insect. The Raleigh News and Observer described Baryshnikov as “simply amazing.” “Metamorphosis” opens on Broadway March 6.
